All, 

lovely to see you all last night, and I hope you enjoyed the movie.

Quite a remarkable sense of "palette," the world as audible, articulate

(which is also to say I like your idea, Terry, of "the daily palette."

That's somewhat behind my idea of The Sense Account, which is my

nominee for a theme. There's a lot embedded in the idea--making

sense (start making sense!) of our fraught and fragile world; accounting for/

counting up, the senses; narrativizing our sensory apparatus, the "story of our

senses"; and taking stock, in a daily sense of our sensory record.

The calendrical possibilities are rich, too--how we might, as a group, publish,

say here on our blog and in the show, a "day book" of our sensorial worlds

and words. It's a longtime obsession (see my book DaZE), and something

behind the poem "the sense account," which is from a new project called

SPOOL. 

"What are days for? / Days are where we live"--Philip Larkin

I'm posting the poem below. Also go to matthewcooperman.com for various

links to Accidental Vestments activity of the past.

Allons!
